Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Criminal Defence Service, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This covers the defence of people accused of criminal offences in England, from police stations to the Crown Court. A solicitor in this area advises on charges, attends police interviews, helps with bail, drafts and negotiates legal points, reviews evidence, and represents the client in court when needed. The work is shaped by the seriousness of the offence, the stage of proceedings, and whether the client pleads or contests charges.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act of being charged with an offence is time-sensitive and potentially life-altering, especially for serious or violent crime. A solicitor protects rights at every stage—ensuring proper conduct of interviews, applying for bail, challenging evidence, and, where necessary, representing the client in hearings and trials. The defence plan hinges on timely decisions, adherence to procedural deadlines, and the ability to secure remedies if rights are breached.

Kajel DoshiKeith Simmonett

Tagged solicitors Kajel Doshi and Keith Simmonett

I honestly cannot recommend Kajel at Lawton’s Criminal Defence Solicitors highly enough, if I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From start to finish, Kajel was nothing short of exceptional. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were outstanding, but what really stood out was how much she genuinely cared. She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and made a very stressful situation feel far more manageable. You can tell straight away that she knows exactly what she’s doing and fights hard for her clients. A massive thank you as well to Patrick and Keith, who were both incredibly supportive throughout the process. Their help, communication, and reassurance made a huge difference, and I’m truly grateful for everything they did. The whole team at Lawton’s Criminal Defence Solicitors went above and beyond for me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing expert legal support. Absolutely first-class service from genuinely good people. Thank you again for everything, I’ll always appreciate it.

Kuldeep Clair

Tagged solicitor Kuldeep Clair

Mr Kuldeep S. Clair displayed professionalism and a hands-on approach, when he handled an employment matter and defended my case. From the moment we first spoke over the phone, Kuldeep seemed very polite and showed willingness to listen. I initially felt at ease talking to him about my case - it all felt natural. Mr Kuldeep represented me at my Newton Trial, which lead to a successful outcome with a community order rather than immediate/suspended sentence! My family and I, could not thank him enough with all the help we received from him. He was thorough with paperwork, arrived at the court on time, patient listener, understanding of the situation (whilst keeping things professional) and always making sure I am updated with the necessary information/result (from start to finish). I tend to say a lot of things when trying to explain myself, but Mr Kuldeep remained open to our discussions and without realising; he eventually used my own words/explanations inside the court to defend me. This showed me that he cares a lot about his clients' needs. I honestly and genuinely, could not have had a better lawyer! HIGHLY recommended!

Michelle Breindel

Tagged solicitor Michelle Breindel

Michelle Breindel defended me when I was in big trouble. Michelle was efficient , knowledgable and courteous. I was facing a adjournment to crown court and even an immediate prison sentence. But I only received a suspended sentence and the matter was dealt with that day. I would recommend Michelle to anybody who finds theirselves in trouble with the criminal justice system . Thanks Jason Roberts

A very professional yet personal service. I cannot praise them enough for how I was dealt with as an individual. I was at ease straight away and the communication was outstanding. Will not hesitate to use again. Mr Zeb from the Crime Department ticks all the boxes.
